Apply for a prestigious school with a score of 3.8 or above.
It is reported that the average academic performance is standard. The GPA in the United States is 4 points, that is, A=4, B=3, C=2, D= 1, and the accuracy of GPA often reaches 1 to two decimal places, such as 3.0 and 3.45.
The calculation of GPA is generally that the credits of each course are multiplied by the class hours, and then divided by the total class hours to get the average score. Generally, the scores of domestic schools are set at 100 or 5 points, and the specific conversion methods vary according to the different requirements of American universities. 100 can be regarded as 4 points if the score is above 90, 3 points if the score is 80, 2 points if the score is 70, 65,438+0 if the score is 60, 4 points if the score is 5, and so on.
Many universities in China have no class hours on their transcripts, so GPA can only be estimated. The scores of all courses can be added up and divided by the number of courses. Generally, American universities require scholarship applicants to have a GPA of 3.0 or above, and famous universities have a GPA of 3.8 or above.
Eliminate the unfavorable factors of transformation
When applying for an American university, China students should provide their grades according to the GPA system adopted by the original school, and indicate which GPA system is adopted. To the disadvantage of China students, most schools have strict requirements on grades, and many students with excellent actual grades are not 3.0 after converting their grades into GPA. In some universities, the average score of the top five students in a class or grade may be below 82, but applying for GPA in American universities will become below 3.0, and only three or four students can enter.
There are two ways to eliminate these unfavorable factors: first, in the report card or recommendation letter and reading plan, it is explained that the low GPA score is actually caused by the strict grading standard; Secondly, when providing transcripts, list the ranking and percentage of such achievements in the whole class or department.
However, it is forbidden to tamper with academic records without permission in China, especially in the United States, where it is known that Chinese mainland students have tampered with their academic records. Once a student is found lying, he is obliged to inform the major universities and consulates in the United States, so he is not allowed to enter the United States for life.
Need to change authority
All transcripts from outside the United States need to be evaluated, appraised and converted by American educational evaluation agencies, otherwise they will not be adopted. China students need to find relevant educational institutions to evaluate and convert GPA scores.
At present, American professional organizations have begun to pay attention to the China market. American Camace Education Foundation and Shenzhen Redford International Economic and Cultural Exchange Company introduced American education consultation, GPA evaluation and transformation into China. Many high school students in Shenzhen successfully converted their GPA scores and were admitted to American high schools.
